Final Pre-SEMA Fiat Post

It’s friday… SEMA is tuesday. You can be assured that come Tuesday, you will all be able to see our finished product but we have a few pics to show off before the final revelation. We are very excited about this car and the project as a whole and are very pleased with the way it came out.

The box that we’ve been talkin about so much is powdercoated, fitted with a deck, and lined up for installation.

Louie tightens up the final touches to the tool box installation.

It’s in! Minor adjustments follow the main installation to ensure proper function and dependability. It just wouldn’t be a proper car build without some boxer print showin’.

Kelvin throws on the final coat of green stain on the toolbox drawers after a light sanding.

The lip that we put on took this car took it from a cute toy to a beast almost instantaneously. We also, gotta give credit to the color of the vinyl we wrapped it in.

i still can’t show you guys the full car but don’t worry ‘cuz it still isn’t finished just yet. We have to throw the wheels on, drop it some more, finish another rack, as well as a huge long list of other odd ins and outs. We can’t wait for this thing to be done so we can show it off. See you all Tuesday!

ABOUT FATLACE

Born in 1999, Fatlace initially started as a blog about the elements of hip-hop, with roots in music, break dancing, and graffiti. In addition to the hip-hop lifestyle we grew up on, cars is a collective interest among the Fatlace family and was inevitably incorporated into our web site. Fast forward and Fatlace has evolved into what you see now, and we are still continuing to grow.

Fatlace found its first home in San Francisco’s historic Japantown, where it remained for several years before closing. This bittersweet end allowed us to focus our attention on the Fatlace Paddock in San Mateo, which now serves as our headquarters and flagship location.

At first, the Paddock seems like your typical shop with dope beats, comfy sneaks and kids up to no good, but stay a while and you'll discover there's more to us than what is on the surface. You'll soon find out the diverseness within our team and the details that set us apart from the usual street boutique. Be sure to also check out Illest, where we've set up shop in both Los Angeles and Honolulu. If you can't make it out to any of our shops, there's always our online store where we carry all of our latest products.
